In this episode, Regan Archibald shifts the conversation from physical longevity to financial longevity, exploring why financial stability is one of the strongest predictors of overall health. Joined by wealth experts Bryan Sweet and Sonu Varghese, the discussion unpacks the biggest risks entrepreneurs face—especially unexpected tax burdens when selling a business—and introduces the powerful concept of creating a “tax asset” to offset capital gains without losing investment growth. Through real case studies, they reveal how proactive planning, strategic portfolio design, and collaboration with the right advisors can save clients hundreds of thousands to millions in taxes while maintaining liquidity, reducing risk, and fueling long-term lifestyle freedom. The episode emphasizes that true longevity requires both optimized health and optimized finances—and that smart tax strategy is essential to building the ageless future you envision. Bryan J.

In this episode of the Seller Finance and Creative Deals podcast, Dan Deppen sits down with Jamie Bateman of Labrador Lending to talk all things mortgage note investing. Jamie shares how he transitioned from rentals and a background in title and mortgage into buying first-lien notes across the country, eventually building a note fund and team to serve investors. He breaks down how he thinks about geography, foreclosure timelines, and the biggest real risk in notes—what you don't know about the interior of the property. Jamie explains how Labrador now serves three types of investors—passive, hybrid, and active—through their income fund, done-for-you asset management service, and one-on-one mentorship plus community. They also dive into the niche of HUD HECM (reverse mortgage) deals as a pre-REO play, why deal flow has shifted since the 2010s, and how both Jamie and Dan are pivoting strategies, including Dan's approach of buying "broken" seller-finance notes and cleaning them up for institutional demand. This episode is a great fit if you're looking for ways to scale, simplify, or reposition your note investing in today's market. Want to create your own seller-financed notes?

This week on The Line, we sit down with Sylvan Brandt Antique Flooring, a company committed to lifting the view of the skilled trades by reviving the work of tradesmen past and giving old craftsmanship a brand-new life. Sylvan Brandt has built its legacy on seeking out old wood and restoring its story—transforming barn siding from century-old farms and reclaimed beams into premium flooring now found in lofts from New York City to California. Every board carries scars, marks, and character that speak to a history worth preserving. In this conversation, we explore not only the story behind their products, but the story behind their people: transitioning a business into the next generation of leadership, staring hardship directly in the face, refusing to give up, and rediscovering purpose, meaning, and gratitude along the way.Host Joshua D. Mellott sits down with Tyler Hollinger of Sylvan Brandt, who shares hard-earned wisdom about facing what feels impossible. At Blackline, grit is defined as “the courage to face what's in front of you”—and Tyler embodies it. He breaks down how to develop grit, how to use it, and how it fuels perseverance and forward momentum. This episode uncovers real truth about leadership, legacy, and the craftsmanship that shaped generations. The episode drops Monday at 5 AM. And it all ends with one simple question: What are you thankful for?--------------------------WHERE TO WATCH:Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hFAsPAZYCUF4OMBB7 Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-line/id1722664848--------------------------FOLLOW SYLVAN BRANDTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sylvanbrandtantiqueflooringInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sylvanbrandtantiqueflooring/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sylvanbrandtantiqueflooring/?viewAsMember=true--------------------------FOLLOW JOSH:X: https://x.com/JoshuadmellottInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/JoshuadmellottLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-d-mellott-0b0525118/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCC11qG6HXWP7TmVMr_Sv7Vg--------------------------FOLLOW BLACKLINE: @blacklineltd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blacklineltd?igsh=a2wwbzJ3Y3Jjd2o4Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095504736514LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/blackline-ltd/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@blacklineLTDWebsite: https://www.blacklineltd.com/--------------------------EXPLORE THE PODCASTSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hFAsPAZYCUF4OMBB7?si=0da16a8fb2574ca4Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-line/id1722664848
Artificial Intelligence isn't just a buzzword anymore; it's a boardroom conversation. Leaders at every level are being asked how AI fits into their strategy, their people, and their bottom line. The challenge? Knowing where to start, what to prioritize, and how to lead responsibly in a world where the technology is moving faster than most organizations can keep up. In this discussion, Kwame from Braintoy will cut through the noise and focus on what leaders need to know about AI. We'll explore how predictive and generative AI can be applied to real business problems, how to build an AI-ready culture, and why governance and ethics can't be an afterthought. This isn't about turning leaders into data scientists. It's about giving you the frameworks, questions, and decision-making tools to confidently guide your teams through AI adoption, whether you're in finance, operations, customer experience, or the -boardroom. If you're not learning how to lead in the age of AI, you're already behind.

Let's be clear, psychological safety isn't about being nice. It's about creating a culture where people can speak up, challenge ideas, and offer unfiltered feedback, without fear. When leaders get this wrong, they create false harmony, avoid conflict, and stall team performance. In this discussion, Jennie and Craig go beyond the buzzwords and checklists. They'll unpack what it takes to build environments where people feel safe to contribute and are expected to show up with substance. You'll learn how to set the stage, invite voice, and, most importantly, respond in ways that build trust, drive accountability, and create forward momentum.

If leadership is anything, it's personal. Relational leadership isn't about checking in, it's about tuning in. It's about building trust, earning influence, and developing people not numbers. That kind of leadership builds social capital, deep, resilient trust that makes performance sustainable. But here's the truth: When you lead this way, you'll clash with systems that see humans as resources. You'll frustrate those chasing quarterly wins while you're focused on long-term growth. You'll challenge the belief that fear drives results, because you know safety, not silence, is what moves people forward. If you believe leadership is about people, not power, this one's for you.

Leighton is once again joined by golf course architect Thad Layton of Thad Layton Design to explore a recent architectural study trip. Fresh off an incredible 20+ course tour of southern England and the Midlands, Thad shares the motivations behind the trip, how he organized it, and the design lessons he's bringing back to his own work. Many architects make this journey to the UK, but the focus here was on courses of southern England—some designed by the most notable names in golf architecture, and others by architects less well known but equally influential. The conversation also explores the huge variety of golf course styles he encountered along the way, from downland and links to the classic English heathland. We then walk through a good number of the courses Thad played including a few of his favourites (this was Thad's order but we work in reverse in the interview): Sunningdale, West Hill, Berkshire, Addington, Worplesdon, Woking, Swinley Forest, Liphook, St. George's Hill, Huntercombe, Walton Heath (Old), West Sussex, Rye, Cinque Ports, Royal St. George's, North Foreland, Royal Worlington & Newmarket, Brancaster, Woodhall Spa, Hollinwell, Little Aston, Pennard, Cleeve Hill, Minchinhampton, Painswick Here's Thad's original appearance on The Greenprint - episode 9.

Sign up for our Rockefeller Masterclass now: https://hub.controlandcompound.com/rockefeller-method-webinar In the second edition of our Wealth Coach episodes, Darren and Christina once again since down with wealth coaches Connor Eagleson, Dan Spry, and Jake Mitchell to reveal the biggest surprises they uncovered when they first discovered the Infinite Banking Concept – and how it continues to transform the financial lives of Canadians today. Key Themes in This Episode: The “aha” moments that changed how our coaches think about money, control, and compounding. Why traditional banking fails business owners — and how becoming your own banker changes everything. The power of uninterrupted compound growth and how most Canadians unknowingly destroy it. The shocking misinformation about Infinite Banking spreading on social media — and how to separate fact from fiction. Real stories from former commercial bankers and advisors who realized how much flexibility and control a properly structured cash-value policy can create. How corporate structures, retirement planning, and estate strategies all tie together through one powerful tool. Why top accountants and tax strategists across Canada are now embracing these policies for business owners. What You'll Learn: Our team pulls back the curtain on the real mechanics of Infinite Banking — not the marketing hype. You'll learn: How to build liquidity and control using your own capital instead of relying on banks. The importance of choosing the right insurance company and structure from day one. How to create a tax-free retirement income stream and a family estate plan using the same strategy. Why traditional financial advice often fails to protect your wealth from the four major wealth destroyers: taxes, fees, volatility, and misinformation. How Canadian business owners can use corporate policies to grow and preserve wealth tax-efficiently.

In this eye-opening episode of the Kaya Cast Podcast, host Tommy Truong sits down with Josh Swider, co-founder and CEO of Infinite Chemical Analysis Labs, to uncover the complex and often misunderstood world of synthetic cannabinoids in the cannabis and hemp industries. Josh draws on over a decade of experience as an analytical chemist to explain how synthetic cannabinoids like Delta-8, Delta-9, THCP, and others are created, the safety risks posed by unknown byproducts, and why many products on the market today may not be derived from actual plants. They discuss the challenges facing regulators, how consumers can distinguish synthetic versus natural cannabinoids, and the alarming lack of enforcement and safety standards—especially in states without legalized cannabis. Josh also shares practical advice for extraction businesses on improving yields and maintaining quality through rigorous testing and process control. This episode is a must-listen for dispensary owners, manufacturers, and cannabis professionals committed to product safety, consumer education, and the future of a responsible cannabis industry.

Skipping School: Gail Harris, Carey Corr, and Colin Smith Fifty-third Episode: The three people who share this episode with me also share an every-Thursday-morning experience on Zoom called The Friendship Bench. Those gatherings, which typically attract between 20 and 30 people, feature a rotation of hosts, each of whom will introduce a topic, say a few words about it, pose a question or two related to it, then send two or more of us into breakout rooms to discuss what's been posed before rejoining the larger group after anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. On a recent Bench, I was assigned to a breakout room with Gail, Carey, and Colin. After a few minutes, Gail said, “Why don't the four of us stay here and talk and not go back to the big group?” I called that skipping school. And here we are. Gail is a certified ghostwriter specializing in women's memoirs and an IPNE Book Award Finalist for the memoir, Finding Zoe. She collaborates with women who've risen above life's challenges and are ready to share their journeys. Gail reveres the cathartic nature of storytelling — for the authors and for those who read their stories — because the healing is universal. She finds the gold in an author's story or what sets it apart from other stories to make it marketable. Gail is also the author of the self-help book, Your Heart Knows the Answer. Her company is Golden Ghostwriting. Carey creates narrative films that engage, entertain, enlighten, and connect with others who share the goal of using the power of film to move humanity forward. An experienced writer and director with a long history in the entertainment industry, he's skilled in music videos, feature films, documentaries, and independent film. He has a bachelor's degree in Film/Cinema/Video Studies from UC Irvine. His website is here. Colin, affectionately known as The Listener, has an innate ability to deeply listen. His intention is to help as many people as possible become one percent better at listening, rather than trying to improve one person by 100 percent. Though we're increasingly connected digitally, loneliness, suicide, and mental health issues, continue to rise because fewer people feel truly heard or valued. We seek to know we matter, to belong, to be able to share our thoughts and feelings without fear, and to know our contributions are valued. Colin has more than 20 years of experience facilitating, coaching, and guiding conversations. His company is Dexterity Solutions. Please join us for some engaging conversation and some respectful listening.
